CLDR 1.7 contains data for 146 languages and 159 territories: 468
locales in all. Version 1.7 of the repository contains over 21% more
locale data than the previous release, with over 40,000 new or
modified data items from over 140 differentcontributors. Major
contributors to CLDR 1.7
include Adobe, Apple, Google, IBM, and Sun, plus official
representatives from a number of countries. Many other organizations
and volunteers around the globe, including Gnome, Kotoistus, LISA, OpenOffice, and Utilika, have also made important
contributions. The data for CLDR is gathered through the CLDR Survey Tool, which allows organizations and volunteers
to contribute, compare, and vet locale data. In the development of this release, the process of gathering data was sped up, and the voting process was simplified.

Unicode CLDR 1.7 is
part of the Unicode locale data project, together with the Unicode Locale Data Markup Language
(LDML: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/).
LDML is an XML format used for general
interchange of locale data, such as in Microsoft's .NET. For web pages with different views of CLDR data, see http://cldr.unicode.org/index/charts.

The
amount of data per locale and the status (unconfirmed,
provisional, contributed,
or approved) varies.
